They are DARK monsters (with the exception of "Reptilianne Gardna", which is WATER) that focus on reducing the opponent's monsters' ATK to 0, using defensive effects to maintain field presence, and taking advantage of monsters whose ATK is 0. Most of these monsters are named after creatures from Indian or Greek mythology and resemble feminine snake-people or pseudo-reptiles in appearance. The theme and strategy of this archetype is similar to those of the "Gorgonic" archetype.

Weaknesses

Even though they benefit from reducing the opponent's monsters' ATK to 0, only four cards actually do this ("Reptilianne Gorgon", "Reptilianne Naga", "Reptilianne Medusa", and "Reptilianne Poison") with none of these options causing any inherent advantage. Reducing your opponent's monster to 0 ATK with "Gorgon" or "Naga" is usually damaging to your Life Points as well (without help from Spirit Barrier or something similar). Furthermore, the archetype has few options against a Burn Deck that does not use monsters, aside from giving the opponent Tokens for "Masked Chopper" to destroy.
